Table 4

Pairwise comparison of three groups (healthy, chronic periodontitis, and aggressive periodontitis) with respect to relative quantification of mRNA expression of MMP-28 scores by Tukey's multiple post hoc procedures.

Healthy	—
Chronic periodontitis	𝑃=0.2964	—
Aggressive periodontitis	𝑃=0.1543	𝑃=0.9261	—
